The witch, tired of tribulations, is acutely aware of the value of your own ass: her powers of observation have been sharpened to a supernatural level, transforming her natural mistrust of people and situations into an incredible shield of situational awareness.

As the Primordial Dough's vessel, Ollie's body serves as the gateway between this world and the land of clay. In moments of need, Ollie can let out a solemn prayer to the Dough Lords, begging for their aid. In their stead, Ollie is supplied with a small garrison of Lesser Claymen, which crawl out of the seams in his flesh.
They appear to be maybe five feet tall at most, with multicolored skin and a surprising softness to them. At will, they can let out a small volley of hardened clay beads akin to birdshot from their bodies to fend off foes.

You hear bones bending and cracking. The skin pulling, transforming into something else, before it is completely covered in black fur. If she wasn't large and towering before, now she sure is. Her face is contorted in an unnatural and beastly way, forming a muzzle just like a wolf, covered in black fuzz and fur; the same goes for her ears, the flesh and cartilage shifting position and becoming something more dog-like. The scars she had on her nose, eyebrow and cheek remained, as well as the rest of her body. She is now over 2 meters tall, and her muscles are larger, stronger, and covered by fur and torn clothes. She grew a set of claws adorning her now bigger hands, but the palm of her left one has a noticeable moon-shaped scar. Her yellow glimmering eyes stare into your soul and tell you she's eager to spill blood. Her muzzle contorts into a grin, exposing her large canines: she's ready to fight.
The harbinger's "little shop" was full of powerful stuff for sure, but she deemed it all useless and she felt lost. She needed more power, she needed it to kill them all. But she didn't know how.
And then the strange man came to her with something in his hands. "This might help you. To quench your thirst for blood. To take revenge. To kill all of them just like the animals they are." It was an abnormally large wolf skull, but there was something off about it. He took a canine out of it and handed it to her. She knew what to do the moment she felt it in her hand. So she pressed the large tooth onto her skin, which already started to drip blood, and she cut her left hand with it. She felt the power flowing through her blood, her body, her soul. She was cursed, but now she had the means to fullfill her vengeance.

Finally, the girls are fusing the way theyโve wanted to since they began Contracting, three and a half years ago.
